About Wonful

Bringing Innovation and Agility to Governments and Enterprise Organizations

Pre-Agile

Agile helps you build high quality products... but it doesn't make sure you're building the right product. Don't accidentally build the best wrong thing.

Lean Startup

Use the "Build, Measure, Learn" Loop to validate ideas, iterate quickly, and be less wasteful while still tackling big projects.

Customer Development

Everyone says you're supposed to go "talk to customers..." But how do you actually do it? How do you pull unbiased information from them?

Liberating Structures

Tired of sitting through boring presentations, never-ending status reports, and ineffective meetings? It doesn't have to be that way.

Testimonials

"Thank you for bringing your creative talent to the State of Washington."

Governor Jay Inslee, State of Washington

"Your project is the largest and most promising regulatory reform project we have underway in State government right now."

Cheryl Smith, Senior Policy Advisor, Department of Commerce

How We Work With You

Workshops

Anywhere from 1 hour to 1 week, these highly experiential, hands-on training workshops give your team practical skills and tools they can start using to solve problems right away.

Embedded Engagements

When you learn to run, sometimes you fall. We will spend weeks or months embedding with your team to catch them when they do, help them figure out what happened, and get them back on their feet.

One on One Coaching

Whether you're helping an A Player become an A+ Player, your B Players become A Players, or you need help figuring out the best ways to manage your new Agile team, if you want the biggest improvement in the shortest amount of time... there is no substitute for one on one coaching.

Meeting Facilitation

Do you have an important meeting coming up? Whether it's to brainstorming a new product, reporting on the status of projects, or determining the future of your organization, Wonful can come in as experienced, neutral facilitators to help you unlock your potential.
